As reported by MCV, the website received 28 million unique visitors throughout the month, many of whom watched an average of 1.5 hours of Twitch video each day.

“Twitch launched in June of 2011 and our growth ever since has exceeded even my expectations, which were not small,” CEO Emmett Shear said.

“A year and a half later, the community of broadcasters and viewers has multiplied hundreds of per cent.”

Shear suggests support from mega companies has helped push Twitch to the next level.

“Brands like Electronic Arts, Activision and Sony Online Entertainment have begun integrating Twitch directly into their products, charities have collectively raised more than three million dollars using Twitch as a platform, and conventions are now turning to Twitch as their exclusive streaming partner.”

According to this post, Take-Two got in touch with said chap saying his IP had been logged and it was time to stop, before he got bombzorred.

Having scored over 450 000 views over the last two days, he finally received a message from Take 2 warning him that they have his IP and will contact his ISP to secure his real identity just a few moments ago. He was told to cease his broadcast or they will be resorting to legal means assuring him that “any legal action will not end amicably”.
